VANITY CASE.

Application filed March 18, 1924. Serial No. 700,053.

r The present invention relates tonew and useful improvements in toiletappliances and it pertains more particularly to such devices commonlyknown as vanity cases. i

It is one of the primary objects of the invention to provide a vanitycase in which a plurality of cosmetic compacts such, for example, asrouge and face powder, may be had, and, at the same time, provide avanity 1 case comprising a relatively thin and fiat receptacle.

It is a further object of the invention to construct the vanity case insuch a manner that either of the compacts may be'used without exposureto view of the other com-v pact, i. -e., the one not being used.

It is a further object of the invention to provide a plurality ofmirrorsso arranged that when the case is opened for use of either of thecompacts, one of the mirrors will be exposed for use. v

It is a further object of the invention to construct the vanity case sothat the loosened material from either compact is prevented from siftingor coming into contact with the other compact, thus serving to maintainat all times the true color of each compact.

It is a still further .object of the invention to construct a vanitycase in such a manner that all of the several parts thereof may beformed by a stamping operation and readily assembled without resortingto the use of soldered joints thus maintaining a low cost ofmanufacture.

With the above and other objects in view which will evidence themselvesas the nature of the invention is better understood, reference is had tothe accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of avanity ,case constructed in accordance with the pres ent invention, thecase being shown in closed position;

Fig. 2 is a perspective view thereof, the case being shown in openposition;

Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the closed vanity case;

- Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view showing the manner in which thecompacts may be secured in place;

Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view of a powder puff used in connectionwith the vanity case. Referring more particularly to the draw-- ings,the vanity case comprises two members 5 and 6 pivotally secured togetherby means of a hinge 7. The hinge 7 is formed by means of rolled lugs 8on each member and through which rolled lugs a pintle pin 9 is passed.The reference numeral 10 designates a partition having rolled lugs 11adapted to receive the pintle 9 to provide for hingedly mounting saidpartition 10 betweenthe members' 5 and 6. r

The partition is formed with a plurality of platforms of which there arepreferably two, and these platforms are designated by the numerals 12and 13'. The partition 10is bent, as at 14:, and 15, to throw these twoplatforms"12 and 13 in different planes. This construction provides anangularly disposed wall 16. By offsetting the two platforms 12 and 13,two compartments are formedwhen the members 5 and 6 aredis posed inclosed relation or when they are in open relation with the partition 10swung to position in eithermember, and the angular wall 16 serves as apartition between these compartments and prevents material in eithercompartment from sifting into the other compartment.

Carried by the platform 12 there is a cosmetic compact 17, and carriedby the platform 13 there is a cosmetic compact 18. These cosmeticcompacts are each secured to their respective platforms by projectinglugs or protuberances 19 formed in the platform and similar oppositelydisposed lugs or protuberances 20 formed in the wall 16.

Arranged in back-to-back relation with each of the cosmetic compacts,there is a mirror, said mirrors being designated by the referencenumerals 20 and 21. By this construction, it is apparent that as eitherof the cosmetic compacts is exposed for use,

a there will, at the same time, be a mirror likewise exposed for use.

With the several parts in'the position in which they are shown in Fig.2, if the platform 10 is swung into position within the member 6, thecompact 18 and the mirror 21 are exposed for use. If, however, thepartition 10 be swung to position within the member 5, the compact 17,and the mirror 20 will be exposed for use.

By reference to Fig. 3 it will be noted that there is a powder puffassociated with each of the compacts as designated by the referencenumeral 25, and that each powder puff is retained in position betweenits respective cosmetic compact and the member of the Vanity caseopposite thereto.

From the foregoing it is apparent that the construction employedprovides a vanity case in which the offset partition member 10 forms twocompartments when the case is closed, and, further, that the wall 16forming the offsets of the partition prevents sitting of material fromone compartment to the other.

If desired, the platforms 12 and 13 of the partition 10 may be providedon their side edges with flanges which when bent upwardly will coactwith the angularly disposed wall l6 to provide two trays or re ceptaclesassociated with the partition 10.

That is claimed is: l

1. In a vanity case, a pair of shell sections adapted when closed toform a receptacle, a hinge for securing said shell sections together, apartition pivotally connected to said hinge, a cosmetic compact carriedby each side of said partition in offset relation,

and a mirror mounted on each side of said partition and in back-to-backrelation with each of said cosmetic compacts.

2. In a vanity case, two shell members hingedly secured together, apartition hingedly mounted between sa d members and adapted to swing toposition in either of said members when they are in their open position,and a compact and a mirror carried by; each sideof; saidpartitiomwhereby when said partition is moved to position in eitherofsaid shell members a cosmetic and a mirror will be exposed for use.

3. A vanity case comprising two shelllike members hingedly connectedtogether and a partition having an offset portion and hingedly connectedto the shell-like mem bers, said partition carrying a cosmetic and amirror on each side thereof and being swingable into either of theshell-like members tosimultaneously expose a single mirror and acosmetic.

4. In a vanity box, a pair of hinged shelllilre members forming acontainer, an offset partition presenting oppositely disposed cosmeticplatforms in two planes whereby'the cosmetics supported by the platformswill occupy positions in'thesame plane, said partition forming with oneof the shell-like members a compartment for one of the cosmetics carriedthereby, and with the-other shell-like member, a compartment for theother cosmetic carried thereby, means for hingedly mountingsaidpartition between the shell-like members to permit of its swinging toposition in either when in their open position, and a plurality ofmirrors so arranged as to be singly exposed when the partition is movedto position in either of the she1l-1ike members. v
